A Story in the Wine

As we sat down for a coffee I noticed the waiter bring him his wine while he lit his cigar. For the next few minutes he hardly moved, not sipping, not puffing….just staring. Gradually his eyes would close and he would start to nod off but then he would startle a little and resume the position at which point he would have a sip, a drag and restart the process. I was totally engaged and wanted to know what would happen when his cigar was finished but it was time for us to go. As we got up he put it out and lit another.
